The Digital Signage Toolkit for the Raspberry Pi
The core piece of technology that powers
info-beamer hosted
as a standalone program. No UI, no OS, just pure code.
info-beamer pi makes it easy to build impressive visualizations on the Pi
Hardware Accelerated
info-beamer pi is optimized for the Pi. It uses hardware
decoding for H.264 videos. Play fullscreen 1080p videos.
The rendering is done in hardware using OpenGL ES 2.0.
You won't get this performance from browser based solutions!
Save Costs and Energy
The Raspberry Pi is low cost credit card sized computer with a bright future.
Running
info-beamer pi on a Pi 24x7 requires
around 700mA (3.5 W). This
translates to around 6€ per year.
Trivial Installation
Installation is
very easy.
No need to install complex dependencies. info-beamer is only a single binary that uses
libraries that the default Linux (Raspbian) provides out of the box.
Fully Scriptable
There is almost no limit on what you can display. Everything can be
customized using the
Lua programming Language.
Remote control your visualization from any other programming language using TCP/UDP.
Learn why it's awesome!
Documentation, Examples and Support
info-beamer pi is
fully documented.
Sample code is
available to get you started. If you need help or even need a custom visualization

Get started in 3 Steps
Getting started is easy if you already have a Raspberry Pi with the
default Raspbian Linux available to you.
Step 1
Download info-beamer pi
(free for private use only)
Learn more about pricing
Step 2
Make sure your Pi is up to date and all required
packages are installed. With Raspbian Jessie (see README.txt for other versions) that's:
root@pi:~$ apt-get update
root@pi:~$ apt-get install libevent-2.0-5 libavformat56 \
libpng12-0 libfreetype6 libavresample2Step 3
Copy the download to your Raspberry Pi. Then unpack it and
run one of the provided examples.
root@pi:~$ tar xf info-beamer-pi-2.0.0.1198f4-jessie.tar.gz
root@pi:~$ cd info-beamer-pi
root@pi:~/info-beamer-pi$ cat README.txt
root@pi:~/info-beamer-pi$ ./info-beamer samples/shader
You should see the sample in action. It is your first step
to building awesome visualizations based on info-beamer!
